"End" button not working?

When I try to end calls now, about 60% of the time the end button doesn't respond when I press it. It is as if the screen has a dead spot. It is annoying because it makes it look like I'm just hanging on there waiting for them to hang up or listening to them which makes me look weird or handicapped! Have you experienced this?

The fix was simple for my iPhone 5. The "End Call" button quit working last Friday evening. I updated the phone Saturday night. Problem still was occurring. I called Apple Support and a resolution was reached.

Backup phone to iTunes and then Erase All Content and Settings.

Then start using phone just like when you received it, without restoring from a backup. Again, do not restore from any backup.

Feel free to make a test phone call here to make you feel better about the time investment in syncing.

I've been experiencing this and it is RELENTLESS. My sister's iphone also does it. When I take it into the Mac store they claim that they've never heard of this before, as if I'm the only freaking person who has this going on. I'm switching back to android after having my iphone replaced 4 times and still being unable to use it for it's most basic purpose: phone calls.

Moreover, I have reset it, powered it on and off, restored to old version, restored to new, and any other trick the genius bar had up their sleeve. They once gave me a new phone (well someone's old crap they made look like new) and i didn't connect it to icloud or anything. it was out of the box with ZERO of my stuff on it, not contacts, not pictures, nothing and went to my car which was about 50 feet away, made a phone call, and the dam thing did it again!!! Also, it's not just the end button. it's the end button, it's when i try to text, it's a variety of other very strange and glitchy things and NO I HAVE NOT DROPPED IT OR ANYTHING. These are problems I have with brand new phones they keep giving me. It's clearly Apple software and not the user. I'm looking for a new samsung galaxy and my coworker who has the III said the IV is coming out and that he's never had an unresponsive touch screen on his.
